Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator Review


This calculator is amazing at financial calculations with its ability to calculate annuities and convert from interest rates to discount rates very quickly. The one thing I have against it is that as a normal calculator it's not very effective. It doesn't flash when you press a button so it's hard to tell if you actually hit the button or not, also it doesn't seem to register quick number typing so some times I need to go back and press it again. It runs with a certain "chain rule" calculation order but you can change it back to normal. Either way you need to use a lot of parentheses. (Ex: 5*(1+0.6)^12 needs to be written like (5)*((1+0.6))^12) Overall, I keep a regular scientific next to this one so I can switch between calculations, but it is a pain to have 2 calculators in general.Get more detail about Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator.
